Model being sprayed with Dark Professional Solution using Norvell Z3000

This professional tanning formula combines warm brown bronzer pigments with an anti-orange complex that actively counters unwanted orange undertones, ensuring a rich, authentic finish that develops fully within 18-24 hours and lasts 5-7 days.

The solution works efficiently in airbrush and HVLP systems, requiring just 2-2.5 oz. per application. DHA activation begins within 2-4 hours, while the cosmetic bronzer provides immediate visual results that rinse away during the first shower. The Natural Color Complex goes beyond basic tanning by incorporating anti-aging properties that tighten, firm, smooth, and hydrate skin, giving clients added skincare benefits with every session.

Formulated with Ordenone®, this solution neutralizes the typical spray tan odor that clients often find off-putting, replacing it with a pleasant raspberry almond scent. This makes the tanning experience more enjoyable and helps salons maintain a fresh, inviting atmosphere.

For optimal results, maintain a 6-8 inch spray distance from skin, increasing to 12 inches for the face, hands, and feet. The key is avoiding oversaturation, which can create an unnatural appearance. Unused solution stays viable for 24 hours when stored properly, reducing waste. Clients should wait at least 8 hours before bathing and avoid chlorinated pools for 18 hours to maximize tan longevity. This reliable tanning formula helps professionals deliver consistent, high-quality results that keep clients coming back.

Reviews

Order Never Came

"I ordered and paid for expedited shipping. However, the product never came. After some research I came to the understanding that the package got damaged during shipping. I called and spoke with customer service and they noted the damaged package had been returned to Novell. They stated they would re-send me my order but they have not. I love their products but I am really disappointed in their customer service."

Ehhh

"Color was good for the first rinse off; but when I took my actual shower (not even a hot shower it was barely warm, it faded so ugly looking. I did all the prep and post tan stuff 100% by the book, I know how to do spray tans I’ve done them about a hundred times before but I don’t think I’ll buy again."

Double Dark

"This was supposed to be one of the darkest solutions sold. It’s no darker than the ones I have in my cabinet already. Disappointing for the price."

"The best solution ever!! The formula is amazing!"

Alexia E. (5/5)

Perfect to add into another color

"I love to use double dark as a half and half ratio or 1:3 of another solution. It allows you to get a stage darker but with the mix of a bronze effect with another solution color you choose to match a natural dark bronze look! Perfect solution left on over night showered next morning and got a beautiful result"

Q&A

I have a bottle of double dark. After a few sprays, the Tans started to come out really streaky and with areas turning green. Does this mean my solution is bad?
